Still on the island

We now have 2 days left here. The reservation was for 5 days. Would probably stay longer but the place is very popular and getting a few additional nights now would be impossible. 
The Florida Seafood Festival starts Friday in Apalachicola (hope I spelled it right), a few miles from here on the mainland, adding to the demand for RV sites. 
We leave the day it starts but we booked 2 nights in a place about 25 miles east of the festival, the Ho-hum RV Park in Carrabelle, FL, so we'll definitely be checking out the festival. 
Apalachicola is a town of 2,500 which is overrun by "tens of thousands" for the festival every year. Sounds like a real blast. 
Incidentally, 90 percent of Florida's oysters come from this area.
The little town of Eastpoint is about 20 minutes from here and has a great raw bar. Darlene had taken care of half the plate before I could get my camera out.

We're going back there today. It's the epitome of a Florida beach bar, even though its not actually on the beach. Must get a picture for you.

And speaking of beaches, took Tara to one on Monday. She didn't know quite what to make of it. She got her feet wet, drank a bit and stuck her nose in a jellyfish (no harm done).
We will take her again today and maybe a ball for her to fetch, ha, ha... Tara doesn't fetch, its beneath her.

It was cloudy yesterday so we didn't take the boat out. Today its going to be 31 degrees and its all ready to go.

Just tied it on the roof. The boat launch is just a mile or two from here.

No shortage of wildlife in the park.These guys are everywhere and you can get within a few feet of them.

There are cormorants here too and supposedly alligators but haven't seen any yet.

And finally, I just had to post this one. The sand is like pavement at the water's edge. You could ride for hours. All you can hear is the surf and the shells crunching under your tires. Gotta love it

Must go now. Its 27 degrees outside and the humidity is at 92. Time to hit the beach.
